Pair of antique upholstered armchairs featuring classic French Provincial and English country influences. Each chair showcases a tall, gently curved upholstered back with button tufting, exposed carved wood arms with upholstered arm pads, and hand-woven rush seats supported by a turned wood base with stretchers.
The rush seats display traditional hand weaving with visible cross-patterning on the underside and remain intact and supportive. The frames exhibit a rich, warm patina with age-appropriate wear, highlighting the craftsmanship and character of these early chairs. Upholstery appears to be later and was likely updated mid-20th century, which is common for chairs of this period.
Elegant yet relaxed in form, these chairs work beautifully in French country, English cottage, traditional, or farmhouse interiors, offering both visual presence and comfortable seating.

The wood frames are sturdy and supportive; however, there is some gentle movement consistent with age, and a few joints feel slightly loose. All joints remain intact and secure, with no separation or structural failure noted. The hand-woven rush seats show a warm, time-worn patina but remain fully intact and secure with no broken fibers. Upholstery shows fading in areas, along with light wear consistent with age and use. Design Evolution Note: These chairs reflect thoughtful updates made over time, a common practice with well-loved antique seating. The upholstered backs and arm pads appear to be later additions, likely introduced mid-20th century to enhance comfort and extend usability, while the original hand-woven rush seats and wood frames were retained. This blend of original structure and later upholstery highlights the chairs’ long history of use and care, resulting in a layered, collected character that is both authentic and inviting. less
